"Joseph 'Robbie' Robertson got his job as Editor-in-Chief of the Bugle because of his history with Tombstone."

"This is going to be my big break."

6. Inside Doctor Doom's castle in Latveria. We're in the Great Hall, lavishly decorated, dominated by a long wooden table and two chairs on either end. Billy Walters, dressed immaculately, clean-shaven, and looking altogether professional, sits at one end of the table - and at the other end sits Doctor Doom, a goblet in his hand. Between them, centered on the table, is a candleholder, six candles providing ominous lighting.

"An exclusive one-on-one interview with Doctor Doom."

7. Billy Walters is sitting in a dimly-lit cell; his hair is long and untidy, he's unshaven, and his 'immaculate suit' is disheveled and dirty. He's sitting at a table, writing in his notebook.

"And as soon as he let's me out of here - -

* William 'Billy' Walters first appeared in The Spectacular Spider-Man #235 and - based on my research (if you can call a Google search that) last appeared in The Sensational Spider-Man #31 (Vol. 1) *

Simon, you set up so much in this page, it works really well. I like the idea that "And as soon as he let's me out of here..." that just tells you so much of what Doom will not be doing. Bastard that he is.

Sadly, yeah, Brubaker's Books of Doom did pit a journo against Doom in his castle. I guess that means your brain works the same as Bru's, congrats on that.

Yeah, don't worry about the idea having been done - it was different enough to work and there really is no such thing as an original idea anymore. It's all in the execution... as I'm sure Billy will soon discover.
